Patrick Fitzgerald is still trying to make a case against Lewis "scooter" Libby for a crime that wasn't a crime and now we get the offical release of the documents on Sandy Berger? Oh and Berger got is top secret clearance back so he can serve in hillary's cabinet if she gets elected. Culture of corruption anyone?
“My staff’s investigation reveals that President Clinton’s former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger compromised national security much more than originally disclosed,” Davis said. “It is now also clear that Mr. Berger was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to compromise national security, apparently for his own convenience.

How can you prove someone destroyed documents that don't exist anymore? I'm not trying to be funny...is it possible? And why would anyone hire someone who is this shady? There are so many honest people you could hire to do the job right. I guess that goes directly to your point though...
Very good paddy. More importantly, this guy admitted to stealing top secret documents from the archives but he got his security clearance back! how can that be?
What much is obvious is that he was covering up a major fuck up on the part of his former boss Bill Clinton whose preoccupation with personal scandals prohibited him from dealing effectively against terrorist threats, both realized and planned. That much is fact.
What is now clear as well is that there must be damaging evidence against George W or even George HW for that matter, and I would even suggest the entire Senate Intelligence Committee for Berger to receive such a non-punishment for one of the worst crimes imaginable against ones Country.
Sandy Berger at a minimum should never have a clearance. Anyone involved in outing Valerie Plame should be prosecuted.She was a covert operative under the definition of the statute. She had previously operated overseas under NOC, and had done so within the term of the statute. Compromising her cover and that of Brewster-Jennings endangered national security. Obviously anyone she met with overseas while working for Brewster-Jennings would be of great interest to the intelligence agencies of those companies. Also, anyone else who used Brewster-Jennings as a cover is compromised. She was reported to have been working on issues involving WMDs, including Iran. Only the CIA has all the facts and they referred this case for prosecution. But, I know, Sean Hannity and every other wingnut said no crime was committed.
...and to answer your question Paddy. All of the destroyed documents were archived, which means they had records of them and in some cases copies, but where the real damage lies is the fact that all the hand written notes on said documents are gone, gone and lost forever.
Gary,
Why dont we give it a rest? Want to grab a beer?
Come join Blue Republic. Not only are the chicks hotter, but we have forums where you can not only pick fights, but pick up loose hippies.
Sometimes Donkey needs some time with his own kind. Its not a bad thing. Its kind of like how I get at the lake house. The bear is cute, but when it knocks over my damn garbage? Not so much.
What the? I didnt even write this post.
...but I have to be honest, it kind of turns me on when you show your jealous side.
You do whats called "the talkaround" though. A sign you want your space, according to Oprah.
Or Doctor Phil? I dont know. I bet Anita knows. She's like the den mother.
You like Gary's jealous side? He should make a note of that.
